Chapter 594 The Emperor's Compromise and Persistence(1/2)
Another person should be rewarded?
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed and he said in a warm voice: "I don't know who the person I am talking about?"
The official reported truthfully: "Your Majesty may not know anything."
"This coal mountain was appointed by the Confucius Mansion to serve as the Lord of Yan Sheng, and sold it to Yongxibo at a cheap price."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "So that's it."
"Is there any dispute between buying and selling?"
"Your Majesty, there is no dispute."
Another official stood up.
"I have heard of this matter a little."
"I heard that Yongxibo bought the coal mountain from Confucius for only one thousand taels that day."
"Confucius is kind-hearted, and he must have seen that this coal mountain will be of great use in Yongxibo's hands."
"That's why he bought such a large coal mountain at such a cheap price."
"Your Majesty, what Ding said is right. In the final analysis, even if Confucius did not make the greatest contribution, he still made great contributions."
"Otherwise, if Yongxibo first arrived in the capital and had not enough money on him, how could he buy such a large coal mountain?"
More and more officials began to echo.
In the words, Kong Hongxu's contributions here are all spoken.
Emperor Hongzhi listened patiently on the surface.
What I thought about was the matter of the fact that these officials submitted a report to restore Kong Hongxu's official body during this period.
In fact, there have been people who have been reporting this matter.
It was just that Kong Hongxu's incident was too big at the beginning, otherwise Emperor Hongzhi's father, Emperor Xianzong, would not have taken his title.
Now that Kong Hongxu is getting older, more and more people are making comments.
This group of people should have been making memorials under the leadership of the contemporary Yanshenggong.
After thinking about Kong Hongxu's age, he probably still has to give him this face.
At this time, the best ending is to follow the flow.
Just thinking of Zhao Ce outside the palace, Emperor Hongzhi also hesitated for a moment.
Emperor Hongzhi knew the most whether the Kong family had contributed to this matter of honeycomb coal.
In fact, he had already planned on Kong Hongxu's affairs.
But now the sea is about to open, even during the Lantern Festival, there are still thick memorials on his table against the sea every day.
Liu Daxia has been ill and has not been to court for many days.
This is a note against the sea, but new ones are sent to the palace every day.
What Emperor Hongzhi needed most at this time was the support of civil servants.
If Kong Hongxu's official position is restored now, this group of officials can be greatly appeased.
This proposal is beneficial to you but not harmful to you...
As for Zhao Ce, I will find a way to compensate him later.
After Emperor Hongzhi measured in his heart, he sighed lightly.
"Loves."
After Emperor Hongzhi spoke, the hall soon became quiet.
"I already know your wishes."
"Yan Shenggong is the leader of our great Ming literati. After so many years, the last Yan Shenggong must have realized his mistake."
"It is just a relegation to the people, and it is the order of my father and Emperor Xianzong."
"It is not easy for me to disobey his intentions as a son."
"Since that's the case, then Confucius will live with his life and Guandai."
As Emperor Hongzhi spoke, he did not mention Kong Hongxu's contribution to the honeycomb coal.
The crown belt can only be worn by officials.
In other words, Emperor Hongzhi restored Kong Hongxu's official position.
But he only restored Kong Hongxu's official position, and did not give him any power, nor did he say that he was an official position.
Although the result was not very satisfactory to these officials, as long as the emperor spoke, he would probably have a great chance to ask Kong Hongxu for other titles in the future.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the way everyone was thinking, and said in a faint tone: "If all the ministers are fine, then we will be here today."
After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, another person stood up.
This person is Zhang Langzhong of the Ministry of War.
He said, "Your Majesty, I have another matter to report."
Emperor Hongzhi saw him and knew what was going on.
He nodded: "My dear, please tell me."
Zhang Langzhong said: "I ask Your Majesty to restore the ancestral system and withdraw the matter of opening the sea ban."
Thinking of the folds piled up in the warm-up pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi's fingers on his legs were gently tapped.
"I have discussed this with several cabinet masters."
"The opening of the sea has been confirmed, so you don't need to say anything more."
Xie Qian and Liu Jian in front both looked down at the ground without saying a word.
Doctor Zhang knelt down directly, his voice slightly increased.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Emperor Taizu implemented the maritime ban to isolate the thief's connection with our Ming Dynasty."
"This is a national policy that can be defeated without confrontation."
"Now that Your Majesty opens the sea, is it because he is saying that Emperor Taizu's method is wrong?"
"Where does Your Majesty's move have placed what I have done to protect the people on the coast for more than 100 years?"
"As soon as the sea ban is opened, Japanese pirates landed on our coastal areas, and there was no more barrier."
"Where will the safety of the coastal people be placed?"
"Please take back your life!"
After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, many people in the field also knelt down.
He shouted to take back his life.
Among the officials who helped Kong Hongxu speak just now, although a few kneeled down, most of them just stood and did not speak.
They got the results they wanted today, so they naturally knew that the emperor who could not force him was too tight.
Even if they are conservative, they will not speak out again today.
In this way, the voices of Zhang Langzhong and others were much weaker than those thick folds.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "The crown prince had already made it clear to Liu Shangshu that day."
"The law of ancestors is immutable."
"However, Xunzi has an agreement: responding to it will be good if it is governed, and responding to it will be bad if it is disordered."
"There is no need to mention this matter. Please help me and prepare for opening the sea together."
Emperor Hongzhi's attitude is rare and tough.
The officials were all a little surprised.
As an emperor who has always shown himself to be gentle, Emperor Hongzhi has always been appeased by them.
I have never made a statement after hearing their analysis.
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and stood up directly.
"We will end up here today and leave the court."
......
Emperor Hongzhi went to court and returned to the warm room to handle political affairs.
Looking at the thick fold, he laughed mockingly.
"Gold and Silver Mine..."
"I don't know why, so I believe you so much."
To be continued...
